Source-derived summary

Malkajgiri Police Commissionerate is one among the three Police commissionerates located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

History

After the formation of Telangana state, the government undertook major reforms in policing to enhance public service. It was recognized that the Cyberabad Metropolitan Police was too large—being the second largest in India after Delhi—causing difficulties in efficient policing.

To improve service delivery, the government issued G.O. Ms. No. 126, Home (Legal), dated 23 June 2016, dividing the Cyberabad Commissionerate into Cyberabad West and Cyberabad East, with a clear listing of police stations under each.

Subsequently, through G.O. Ms. No. 158, Home (Legal), dated 22 September 2016, Cyberabad East was renamed as Rachakonda Police Commissionerate.

This change was also officially published in the state gazette.
